i've always used felt. you shouldn't need to caulk the enclosure in the first place though. if you use biscuits, nails, or screws, wood glue, not to mention whatever fabric is on the outside, it should be okay. a lot of people tend to overdue it on the glue when it's not really nessesary. wood...

thanks! after i finish mounting the front speakers, i plan to grind out all the rust and paint it a bit. the hood, i want to show the face of the joker with a bunch of "hahah" behind it. this is after i've already replace the exhaust manifold, the muffler(with a 22 inch cherrybomb), and gave it...

i shall do that, thanks. BTW barak, i dig your socialism pic, i laughed. beyond all that, what do you guys think? nothing competition worthy, more of a theme piece.

that's interesting. very interesting actually, i'll have to give that some thought. thankfully replacing the ground shouldn't be too big a thing, since it's not under the rig itself, it's under the back seat. so, you're saying, if i run, a 4Ga wire aaaaaaall the way to the battery it'll make a...

i was told if you use a ground longer than 18 inches long you run a big risk.

quite right. i ground around the area i drilled into, cleaned it off and made sure there was no rust, dirt, or paint. you're right though, 40 watts per channel is pushing it, but then, i don't need a whole lot of power on this system. with everything hooked up, i barely have to turn it up...

you're not supposed to use ground wires that long.

i also cut new wire covers out of 1/4 inch plexiglass, i had two GIANT sheets just laying around- no sh__! here it is all pretty n stuff: i run the the wires to a switch, so i can control whether it runs or now. winters in wisconsin make a cooling fan pretty redundant, so i won't run it in...

then the purple, quarter inch shag fur.. can you see it yet? here is a side view of the top of the sub cases and the rear speaker arm: here it is again, with the speaker holes cut, and the LCD lights added: ran to walmart to pick up 3 pounds of THIS stuff, cuz i'm not playing around...

next, on to construction. cutting all the wood was a *****, because it's such a small space. 12 inches by 41.18 inches on the floor, which rises up to 9 inches at the top of the back seat. VERY small. ...cutting the wood. here is what would become the front speaker mounts and sub mounts. I...

It's been awhile since anyone's tried this(or so i've seen), and i just happened to have finished mine. behold, my project, or, as i've called it, The Last Laugh! I planned to model this system after DC Comics' The Joker, one of my all time favorite supervillians. The Tracker is green with...
